From the Dirt
I came from nothing
A creature from the dirt
I had learned to like the taste
A haunted little palace
With ghosts in the attic
Pathetic little wretch with every talent to waste
Vices like vipers
I used my broken fingernails
To claw twisted nightmares into my face
The road was dark
And there are no angels
Relentlessly searching for the pieces of myself
Rise
The gravewalker
Driven by my demons
Someway, somehow
Built with knees that do not bow
I rose from that grave
A man with no name
Skinned like a leper that lost everything
The dead man walking
A risen Lazarus
Alive again like an ancient disease
Knowing that I live for, bleed for, die for
Every pain to prove that I earned my scars
Rise
The gravewalker
Rise
Rise
Rise
I broke myself to stay alive
I broke myself for years
All pretense is gone
This moment is mine
All for just our moment lost in time
And we've never wanted anything more
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
A creature from the dirt
I had learned to like the taste
A haunted little palace
With ghosts in the attic
Pathetic little wretch with every talent to waste
Vices like vipers
I used my broken fingernails
To claw twisted nightmares into my face
The road was dark
And there are no angels
Relentlessly searching for the pieces of myself
Rise
The gravewalker
Driven by my demons
Someway, somehow
Built with knees that do not bow
I rose from that grave
A man with no name
Skinned like a leper that lost everything
The dead man walking
A risen Lazarus
Alive again like an ancient disease
Knowing that I live for, bleed for, die for
Every pain to prove that I earned my scars
Rise
The gravewalker
Rise
Rise
Rise
I broke myself to stay alive
I broke myself for years
All pretense is gone
This moment is mine
All for just our moment lost in time
And we've never wanted anything more
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
Live your life so that you may die
Die upon your feet
